also attended the night performance,

Dr. R. A. Miller yesterday began the

The first train Into Dublin over the
Rising Star extension of the Central

the Forepaugh and Sells Bros, circus
Wednesday. The train returned to
Sipe Springs, leaving Dublin about 6
p. m.
County Attorney L. O. Cox and
Sheriff Bates Oox and Deputy Kay
Roberts were here several days this
week incident to the circus crowds.
A few minor violations were discov-
ered but as a rule the large crowd
was good natured. and self respecting.

The Progres# editor, in company
with W. u 'Fletcher of the Progress
force went to Dalian Saturday night,
Mr. Fletcher returning Sunday night
and the editor remaining over for
Press day at the fair Monday. On this
trip we had the pleasure of meeting
Lambert Henry, now editor of the
Cameron Herald, who was foreman in
the mechanical department of the
Progress in 1892 aud ‘93, also Sharp
Whitley, now editor of the Cisco
Round-Up,who wjas with the Progress
In the early 9(te. We iad not met
either of those gentlemen since they
deft Dublin. We also wet John T.
Rislen of the Carrollton Chronicle
who was for many years with the
Progress. At the machinery display
building we also met the irrepressible
Bill Key of Dublin, who is In charge
of the Kingman Plow Co., exhibit at
the fair. Mr. Key will remain at Dal-
las until the close of the fair, after
which ho will have bis headquarters
at Greenville and will make the east
Texas territory for the Kingman Com-
pany. Many newspaper men from all
over Texas were in Dallas Monday and
the fair management took good care
of them. This Is the first visit this
writer has made to the fair in a num-
ber of years and we were agreeably
surprised at the substantial growth Of
this institution and the evident im-
portance that it has reached as an
immigration boomer for the Lone Star
state. We saw on display and in ope-
ration, two different patents of cbtton
pickers which appeared to be doing
satisfactory work and which may yet
revolutionize the cotton industry aud
partially solve the problem of over-
coming the extra heavy amount of la-
bor necessary in the gathering of this
southern staple. Tbs Erath county
exhibit arrived last Saturday in the
care of Scott Woodward and Henry
Sheffield, both enterprhsing young
men who are competent in ail respects
to properly present the advantages of
this section. Monday afternoon we
made a second visit to the Erath sec-
tion aud found the exhibit tastily ar-
ranged and in all respects equal in ar-
rangement as- well as In quantity and
quality of products, to nearly any-
thing in the big exhibit. Only one un-
desirable feature we noticed In con-
nection with tills exhibit and that was
the total lack of any printed matter
with as much its a word about Dublin,
the largest and most important town
in the county. Messrs. Woodward and
Sheffield had been supplied With two
nicely printed folders concerning
Stephen vltle^/tout nothing concerning
Dublin. The failure Is on the part of
Dublin and the young gentlemen in
charge of the exhibit are in no wise
to blame.
Rev. D. R. Hardison, our former
pastor of the Christian church In Dub-
lin, now occupying a like position with
the church at Brady is also secretary
of the commercial club In that live
city and the club sent him down to
Dallas to remain daring the fair In
charge of the McCulloch county ex-
hibit, the church granting him a IWf
of absence to cover the period- Rev
Hardison Is prospering In Brady and
he is well pleased with that city and
Its people.
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Maloney we
found at the Oriental hotel, there to
spend the week and visit the fair. We
happened across Deck Davis and
learned that he was still a resident of
that city and that W. u. was still s i-
gaged In business there. Old time
Dublin cltixens will remember w. it.

day, J. (Bob) Ransoms of the Cle-

Concerning New Nervlee and
Extensions of Lines.
Frisco Extension to Menard.
There is certainly no doubt that the
Frisco will be operating trains Into
Menard toy January first, and present
Indications are that there will be no
exteusion from that point for several
years, says the Menard Messenger.
Jt was thought for a time drat the
rpad would be extended as soon as
completed to Menard, but it is evident
that the company has abandoned such
plans for the time being.
The terms upon which Menard lias
secured this extension was a bonus of
Bio,000, all of which is to be used in
building a depot in that city.

"as long as the present law Is in force
making open accounts a prior lien to
first mortgages, we can not undertake
further extensions. If we find not al-
ready made a contract with the citi-
